Jim Hendry in unsure of a timetable for Patterson. He may be in AAA for a week or a month, no one knows. The guy was stuggling severely. I know he isnt a AAA player but he needs to figure something out. Hendry announced he has no plans of trading Patterson, but again has no timetable on when he'll be back with the team.

Patterson is getting older every year and NEEDS to adjust his approach to the game of baseball. I'm not a Cubs fan, but from what I've heard he is a very stubborn player. Hopefully he realizes in AAA that if he wants to be successful he's going to have to start listening to his coaches. If he doesn't I'm afraid he'll never reach his potential. Physical he could be a great even awesome player if he somehow can overcome the mental aspects of his game.
